Children should not be subjected to bullying or abuseBy any school official or scholastic organization. Covid testing subjects children to unnecessary stress due to the mental abuse of which it is. I am therefore opposed to any and all covid testing.Jeff Fisher (Tooele, 2021-06-27)

I do not believe you have the right to continue to test my child so she can continue her extracurricular activities. Stop this abuse.Nicole Korpi (West Jordan, 2021-06-27)

Medical procedures and practices should never be used to discriminate against and limit social activity of a child, especially since Covid 19 is not a deadly virus for teenagers in the practical sense of the word. The vaccine is proving to be more of a problem in that age group than the actual virus. From a safety standpoint you would do better to ban cell phones from high school kids.Ryan Nazer (Lehi, 2021-06-27)
#222
Our children deserve the right to autonomy and a life without unnecessary fear mongering via a virus that is very unlikely to hurt them and they should not be held for ransom of federal funds. STOP playing this dangerous political game now! We, the people, know what you are doing. Our forefathers are turning in their graves!Brin Novak (Morgan, 2021-06-27)
#223
Stop the unconstitutional testing!Stacy Hale (Pleasant Grove, 2021-06-27)

I do not think our students need to be subjected to testing that has been discredited. It is intrusive and violates the law.Stephani Fullmer (Briosas@yahoo.com, 2021-06-27)
#229
I'm signing because I have a high school athlete that wants to play sports and he also understands that mandated testing is a intrusion on his personal liberties. This needs to stop.Ken Tilby (MORGAN, 2021-06-27)

It is pretty clear now that PCR testing at the high cycles used in Utah is not an indicator of active infection. Why this test is still being used, when the even the WHO says it is inaccurate at high CTs, is likely financial; someone is making a lot of money. I asked the ER doctor how many cases of pneumonia he sees each year and he said "usually about 1000". I asked him how many of those cases had symptoms. He looked at me like I was brain dead, and said "all of them. A "case" is someone with symptoms". That has always been true until 2020 when all of a sudden a "case" is a healthy person with a positive PCR test. To test healthy teenagers is, at this point, criminal.Sally Quinn (Salt Lake City, 2021-06-27)
#236
I do not agree with extending Covid 19 testing for high school students to determine eligibility when it is not a state mandate for all people for spirting activities, theatre productions, debate teams, etc. This test has not been proven to be an accurate tool and our state is very high in high school suicide rates as is. Give me an accurate explanation as to why are you selecting only the high school students, why you deem them alone as a group more necessary for testing than other groups. I am against this!!Marie Gnehm (River Heights, 2021-06-27)
#240
Covid is over politicized and governor Cox is a crook!!Brady Blackett (Mona, 2021-06-27)
#241
Testing is a medical procedure that I do not agree with, children are not getting sick from the coronavirus, and others have a 99% chance of survival. The testing continues to push fear on our kids. Stop it already.Annadel Lemon (Centerville, 2021-06-27)
#244
The lengths taken to "combat" Covid have been utterly ridiculous!Louis Kelsch (Riverton, 2021-06-27)
#246
Testing children is completely unnecessary and these PCR tests have been shown they are not to be used to diagnose! These kids are not super spreaders, however these tests sure are super spreaders in continuing the fear! Stop testing period! Asymptotic spreading is false…as you can spread infection only when you have symptoms. Stop this insanity for a virus that we will always have around and has over 99% recovery anyway!Melanie Marriott (Santa Clara, 2021-06-27)
#255
Stop the ridiculousness.Heather Ryan (Lehi, 2021-06-27)

I'm signing because we are all done playing this ridiculous testing game! The testing is flawed at best and worthless at worst... It's stressful to the children and it's medical procedures done at school... Not okay!!Christine Heskett (Park City, 2021-06-28)

I have 2 kids in high school sports. The testing is ridiculous and unnecessary.Jennifer Judd (Millville, 2021-06-28)

The tests are sterilized with ethylene oxide which is known to cause a few different kinds of cancers.It is an unnecessary practice that can only hold long term negative effects for their health, especially when used on a regular basis.
Trading the health of children for the potential risk that is far worse than even contacting the virus for the majority of children and teenagers seems selfish for funding that has tons of strings attached to it. No amount of money is worth sacrificing their health.
And Cox promised he wouldn't do this. He is as good as his word, which is proving to be worthless.

#299
Because children should not be tested excessively when they are barely carriers and are barely getting sick with this. This is about cocks holding our children ransom to keep getting federal aid. It’s all about money!April Pratt (Washington, 2021-06-28)
#302
This is bullshit! Corona is man made and it was made to disrupt and ruin the USA! And as long as our “leaders” of our states continue to care about just the money, then down goes our country and the future for our children!Jody Hirschi (Washington, 2021-06-28)

#321
I feel STRONGLY that receiving Federal monies is an admission by those making such decisions that money is more important than the healthy lives of our children.STOP mandatory testing.
FIGHT FOR THE HEALTHY LIVES OF OUR CHILDREN.

No company has the right to require an experimental test for play. Even if the test wasn't experimental, they have no right to require it!

Discrimination against HS students who do not spread not are they very susceptible to COVID. They do not deserve the stress of testing, especially false positives which will prevent them, last minute, from participating in a sport which promotes good physical and mental health.Lori Landsman Myers (Hurricane, 2021-06-28)
#354
As a parent, I know my kids needs and I hold the only right to make medical decisions for them. The mandates have caused physical harm to my children and I won’t allow it moving forward. Vaccines are made available to those who want one. All mandates need to end and stay that way.Amber Pincock (Saratoga Springs, 2021-06-28)
#355
I'm signing this as a responsible parent who understand the needs of my children better than anyone else including government. The masks and vaccine are not scientific based rather than political.Destry Griffiths (Cedar City, 2021-06-28)

#372
It’s time to stop holding young people’s mental health hostage to the profits of covid test makers. These students need athletics and other extracurriculars. They are at at virtually no risk from covid, but test makers sure stand to make a lot more money off this captive audience. Forcing them to test is wrong.Autumn Cook (Lehi, 2021-06-28)

Because I am still trying to detox my son from the affects of this covid testing from last year.Tammy Barlow (LaVerkin, 2021-06-28)
#385
I am signing this petition because I believe it is wrong to force anyone to be tested or vaccinated for COVID-19. I have already pulled three of my kids from public school, but I have a high school senior who wants to play football. He already missed his track season last year because I refused to let him be tested. He should not have to miss his senior year of football or any other extra curricular activities because of political government control that is totally unethical and unnecessary.Brenda Fischer (Hurricane, 2021-06-28)
